This bundle introduces the concept of belief and religious identity and is suitable for KS3 and upwards. Pupils begin by learning about the different belief systems in society. They are then challenged to compare, and find commonality between, how God is viewed and described in the main world religions. Pupils then consider the philosophical question of is there life after death by comparing Christian to Muslim teachings. When considering how religion influences identity, pupils explore different forms of religious clothing and practice. Pupils also consider how and why theists pray and worship with regards to where they worship, how often and debate whether religious artefacts aid or hinder the connection to God. The lessons are filled with formative assessment opportunities and encourage critical thinking and promote literacy skills and the use of technical terminology.
